In honor of Women’s History Month, the Women’s Studies program along with the Education Division of the Museum of Texas Tech, will host the “Binding Equality: A Women’s Studies Symposium,” from 8:30 a.m. to noon Friday.

The event will celebrate women writers and will coincide with the exhibition “Speaking Volumes: Books and Ideas from 1250-1862.” The exhibition showcases ancient and rare books, documents and manuscripts from the Remnant Trust Inc. The exhibition is available for viewing and will remain open to the public until April 29.
